EA Motive Is Reportedly Reviving Dead Space | Defining Duke Episode 25

For and foremost, a big thank to Karak for being an excellent host for Defining Duke. We will miss his commentary, jokes, and analysis on the latest in Xbox. With that in mind, Defining Duke will soon be bringing a new host on board that we will announce soon. Onto the news! Xbox has touted the cloud for years and now they're making big hirings and one in particular is for Hideo Kojima to help him make something for Xbox. The prospect of Xbox extracting one of the dominant players in the PlayStation space certainly is tantalizing and it looks like they plan to make big moves to ensure it goes according to their desires. Aside from that, EA is looking to resurrect (HA!) Dead Space! Hailing from EA Motive, it is reportedly a re-imagining and not a direct sequel. What does this mean for the survival horror franchise and EA's approach to reviving old franchises? More pressing, what are our thoughts on the nature of leaks full on spoiling big reveals? Matty and Ben team up to tackle this and much more!

Thank you Matty. Ben is correct. This is why you're one of the good ones.

Commenting before the podcast is finish but wanted to add before I forget (sorry for my sins lol) Bens take for a dare devil game reminds me of a game a few years ago called perception where your blind and "see" using echo location of sound to traverse around and I feel that's the closest you can get to a current day daredevil game. Add in Ninja Theories unique take on gameplay with mental illness and etc, and I think there's some potential there for sure

If you guys have not yet decided on a person to replace ACG I would suggest NeoGameSpark. He had a 360 and then left the Xbox one, but he later game back in 2020 for the one x and is sticking with Xbox going forward. He will give the applause and he would also be very critical of Microsoft as well. I would say he would be excellent for this podcast.

I love hearing the Karik is too busy to podcast and here comes Ben on his chariot to save the day. I mean, Ben is only a mayor, HP podcaster, PR guru, Editor, and when he is done with those few things he is father, and owns/or manages a kick ass restaurant/brewery! I honestly didn't think the man was real and it was just Colin using a general name for all his sub-contractors! Lol.

Michael J Sutherland

Oh, and more importantly I am here for Matty and Karik was not there long enough for me to care. Take your time and know you kick ass Matty and know that Colin has a "matrix" mind and will figure it out and make sure we are all enjoying the content.

Sucks losing Karak, it was great while it lasted! Thanks for the great work ACG! But Matty’s got a good vision when it comes to video games coverage! Keep up the great content for The Duke. Side Note: I know Ben has to be busy but, Matty and Ben hosting the show would be awesome. Keep up the great content!

Maybe I’m a minority opinion on this one, but as a horror mp game fan, I liked Dead Space 2 multi quite a bit. Definitely will not mind if they return with something like that in addition.

Scott MacLure

Nah I got the vibe he cant really be arsed with some of the questions, if he doesn't want to be there its for the best he's gone, hope you get a even better host.

Micah is an Xboxer if I’m not mistaken. That could be really cool. Best of luck and success to Karak in all future endeavors.

BlindRiot

Ben is absolutely right...”Sony is still playing Console Wars.”

Dale Pollard

All the best karak. You and ben are the only xbox podcast I still listen too. Infact last stand media the only gaming podcasts I listen to anymore. Thank you for entertaining me for all my long work hours. Side wish: Marty sliva would be awesome at last stand.....just a dream I'm putting out there. Him and Colin were the only reasons I went to ign

OCEL0T

I also thought Ben was awesome, his chill demeanor mixed nicely with Mattys high energy.

Scott MacLure

Marty Sliva, do we know what happened with him? Not sure that's a good idea haha.
